This is the 21st century, you idiot. Wake up. Don’t assume every female wants to have an affair with you. She is a professional doing her job.

Her response should have been, “Get over yourself. You’re not that hot.”

He’s a GOPer, so if there’s a male along, we’ll just assume that he’s having a gay affair in the closet.

I have the same problem. I’m stalked by women who want to ruin my reputation by asking questions that most men would have the good sense not to ask…

That was my 2nd thought, she has been asking questions, that is a no no…

1st thought is that he has something to hide…

The alternate read, I think, is: “oh, so obviously he’s having an affair with somebody else”

I go out to lunch with married colleagues of the opposite sex. You know what never concerns me? Whether or not other people at work will think we’re boning, or what their husbands will think, or whatever.

Maybe Foster just doesn’t like Campbell (her reporting that is) but tried to be cute about the brush-off. One incident like this isn’t that newsworthy.

Well we have the VP who won’t be alone with a woman because “Mother wouldn’t like it”, and now there’s this asswipe who says if a female reporter shadows him during the last part of the campaign then people will talk of them having an affair, so it is important jim, it’s important because it shuts women out, prevents them from doing their job, and can hinder their career advancement. This is newsworthy jim.

A single woman can’t be seen with him. She needs a male escort with her.
See, Sharia Law really is coming to America.

And if it was a black reporter no doubt someone would be spreading rumors he was enslaving them. /s

So clearly only another straight white male teapartier is allowed to report on this guy.

“It’s not that we don’t like women, or think that they’re inferior, we just know that all women are going to accuse innocent men of affairs, so we just shut them out of the corridors of power for our own protection.”
